There is high cloud moving in now but we’ve had a spectacular weekend with sunshine and temperatures up into the mid teens – AND – the first Rufous Hummingbirds have shown up. I haven’t seen one yet but a neighbour has had not one, but two, at his feeders.
You can’t really see them in this view but there were quite a few Tree Swallows flying around the pilings today…there is also a heron if you look closely…
not a great shot – but ‘proof they were there’ here is one of the Tree Swallows
and there is a closer look at the Great Blue Heron. I know we’ve been featuring lots of heron pictures lately, but we’ll be getting to the time of year soon when we won’t see them very often, so like the eagles, you take the pictures while the bird is there.
a Song Sparrow was singing this morning…
and there were 5 of those Northern Pintail drakes (3 in picture) – I’ve never seen Pintails in this area in the spring before.
the woodpile features a Pine Siskin today…
and a very co-operative Douglas Squirrel.
